Sure you don't mean the Great SALT Lake?
http://lakes.chebucto.org/saline1.html
"But in this regard, note that about 40 percent of global freshwater is held in Lake Baikal and the Great Lakes of North America."
From Great-Lakes.net, talking about the salinity of the St. Lawrence as it feeds the Great Lakes:
"After Donnacona, the river widens considerably and enters the brackish water zone, the area where freshwater and saltwater meet. In this section, the salinity of the water rises from zero to twenty percent! "
But even that is not up to the 35% of the oceans.

Many cities use the great lakes as a source of their drinking water. They are not salt water.

All of the Great Lakes are glacial freshwater lakes.

I don't think that's true. I believe the Great Lakes are all freshwater.
